Double, Double Toil And Trouble

When I first heard Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem and Rosie O'Donnell were working together, I thought someone was casting Macbeth. It is easy to imagine that trio hunched over a cauldron chanting, "eye of Newt."

They are backing a new left-wing radio network that plans to appeal to women listeners and counter the dominance of conservative talk radio and its "male point of view."

What's amusing about the Macbeth analogy is that after I thought of it, I found out that also involved is Robin Morgan, of Ms magazine.

Morgan at one time staged a witchcraft protest against the House Un-American Activities Committee. She once wrote, "White males are most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today."

Anyway, this coven of crones will need all the black magic they can conjure to make this dark venture successful.
